Re: .224 projectiles over 100 grains???
I only know of the 90 vld. Is this for the 22-243 in progress? What would a 224 100+ griner do that a regular 243 and 105's couldn't do better?

Re: .224 projectiles over 100 grains???
I hear ya. Seems to me when the wieght goes up the speed goes down. What speeds are you currently expecting with that chambering? Say with a 75 amax or 69 smk?

I shoot 80gr AMax bullets and they are the shit!!! I burn them at 3200 from 22-250

Re: .224 projectiles over 100 grains???
according to quickload....with retumbo....90 grain vld @ 3300 fps. if you bump it up to 3400 pressures rise too much and it would not be good for brass or the action or anything else.

what kind of number can you get for a 22-250 and the 90gr bullet?????

I think I read that Kirby Allen of the Allen Mag fame has a 224 dia bullet in the 100 or 105 gr range that he makes for his 224 Allen Mag.
Talk about a barrel torching monster, I think his info that I was reading talks about 3600+ with that bullet adn it launches 75 Amaxes into the 4k range.
I'm personally on a 22-284 quest that I hope to reach 5300 fps with some 35gr Vmax... maybe they'll even survive long enough to hit a waterballoon at 25 yards.

Bohem, you might as well use steel bullets to keep from self-destructing in flight. Its not like steel against steel will matter in that case given the 100 round barrel life for a cartridge that hot!
hehe

I will look at Kirby Allen... You are the second person to mention him. The 22-243 is also supposed to throw the 35's in the 5k range... But with the 1-7 twist I am going to have, I wouldn't expect them to survive for very long. Steve

I run 90's 3500 out of my 22-243AI. It's not showing any signs of pressure at these speeds either. I don't know how long it will continue to stabilize them. It's a 1:8. 80gr amax's go over 3600. I'm using RL22, not retumbo.

Yeah, since I'm doing all the metal cutting myself and I own the reamer I have an Adams and Bennet 1:14t barrel for the 35's quest, and the rifle will be getting a 1:7t Shilen CM Match (no reason to shoot a 250 dollar barrel out in 200 rounds) so that I can shoot the 80-90gr bullets in the 3700 range for a few hundred rounds before a setback is needed.

Wildcat bullets in Canada used to make heavy bullets for caliber. You may need to check them out. I heard they closed their door for awhile so I am not sure if they are now back in business.
